I've been parking it in the driveway but wanted to get it in the garage while I went on vacation. Measurements do work out but the single garage doors make the width tight. Got her in with some guidance, but don't know if I can do it on a Monday-Friday basis. 7f93c7bd29bbd07c1b659fa4e0764204.jpg417bb36d6805fd475ddde46958c645f0.jpg

You should be scolded for garage abuse!

That’s not a 1 car / 1 truck garage, that’s a 6 motorcycle garage :p

I have a 3 motorcycle garage, that the previous owner built for his Porsche boxster. I managed to stuff my ’01 Lightning in there. Once. It did fit, but let’s just say it’s a good thing I wasn’t overweight because getting in / out was very difficult.

I am completely sure that there is no way the Rap fits in my garage...

Perfect timing on this post. I just ordered an 18. Today I was in the garage measuring from the front bumper of the wife's Toyota Sequoia.

She asked WTF I was doing. I said the damn truck is 28" longer than your car. It's gonna be so tight it's not comfortable.

She just looked at me... :Nonono:


LOL

Check out the laser parking devices on Amazon. It's the high tech version of the tennisball and it lets me park my truck consistently within a half inch. My wife refused to have a tennisball hanging from the ceiling and the laser is easier to park with. I also fold in my mirrors for the extra margin. I think someone on here said it was $1500 to replace an 802a mirror.

I’m kind of disappointed with garage depth these days in newer houses. I’m at the point in life where I can afford a raptor and a decent house, but the garages leave a lot to be desired even with newer higher-end houses around here. I think a garage should be at least 26 feet deep, but apparently builders around here in TN don’t these days for some reason.

Mirror power folding failed on my drivers side 2008 F-350 dually Lariat (power folding, telescoping, heated) and it was $900 to replace. I just lived with it. So I don't doubt that the mirrors are $1500 each when you add in the blind spot stuff.

You guys are lucky, my current 15 screw sticks out by 2 inches. If it were not for the tailgate bulge it would fit lol

I had to change my garage doors to get mine to fit LOL. But you got to do what you got to do when you got a Raptor!
